Mrs. D___,

West Palm Beach

Hi Swinger(?)-
How's things with you? Things down here are pretty slow - you see the smart one here thought she could get an instant tan - instead she got an instant burn - looks like a lobster in fact glows at night. So I've been in the house for the past two days. I guess I'm getting home sick - miss the parties and the fun times. I'll write later - don't do anything I wouldn't do.

She's at the beach, missing the "fun times" back home? She calls her friend "Swinger"? This girl sounds awesome! Too bad this postcard was written nearly a decade before I was even born.
